What is money?

Many people interpret it this way, money is next to metal, there are two go, that is, it means to use weapons to seize something, wealth.

Even if it's just an ancient word, it's already bloody and red fruit fruit will tell you the essence of the so-called wealth.

Of course, there is another implication, the ancestors understood a truth very early, if wealth is not protected by force, it can hardly be called money, money, need to be supported by force.

Money is inseparable from violence.

Of course, due to certain characteristics, you can't use violence to get all the wealth in the world into your own hands, but without the blessing of violence, you lose your wealth in minutes.

The people's heart is a very strange thing, the people who were originally sad by Peng Wenzheng's end, but now they are thinking that they also want to get a share, even if they haven't sent money to Peng Wenzheng, they also remember that they suffered a loss in the hands of the government in a certain year, and naturally want to get it back.

At this kind of moment, human memory and creativity are incomparable, fortunately, the elders have long learned about Peng Wenzheng's affairs through many channels, and this person is not a person in charge of criminal affairs, so naturally there are not many unjust cases, at most, when they are in charge of household registration files, or tax collection, etc., they will take advantage of it.

Many benefits still can't see the light of day, even the bribe-giver is embarrassed to jump out, of course, the lumpenproletarians like to jump up and down the most at this time, but this kind of scene where everyone shares the money together does not need to be very harmonious.

Jiangyin is in a very telling operation, although Peng Wenzheng's income from the family has flowed into the hands of those errand servants very normally, and even they have studied a business that should be given to the imperial capital without a teacher, and there is no place where the rabbit dies or the fox is sad or unskillful, I think there are rules for a long time.

Of course, the Peng family and the Cao family also have a lot of relatives in Zuo Jinzhou County, which is a typical example of making a fortune in a muffled voice, occupying a lot of irrigated land and making a lot of good deals, and there are definitely not a few people who are dissatisfied with this.

However, these things have nothing to do with Li Xiangqian, but they have a good exchange with Lin Zhiji's drinking.

"Come on, Brother Lin, this is the first shochu from Liaodong, the name is vulgar, the old Northeast, but it is the essence of ten catties of wine distilled into one catty of wine, you can taste it."

Li Xiangxiang himself is in the stage of quitting alcohol, and he only drinks one or two taels a day, but he doesn't mind anything when he promotes it to others.

In later generations, I you at will, and if you don't drink, do you look down on my alcoholic culture, probably from the communication culture of the Green Gang, which itself is a kind of stranger communication, judging whether the other party has the ability to abuse himself, and we have masochized together, in fact, the real scientific and traditional way of drinking is really a little bit of tongue staining, and the way to eat a mouthful of food.

Lin Zhiji sighed and said, "You will still enjoy it, it is really good to come out of this palace." ”

Well, in order to appear more forced, the origin of distilled liquor is naturally paved with a veil of mystery, of course, there are also a number of different versions, the source is naturally those who have no children and no daughters, and enjoy the eunuchs wholeheartedly, from Liu Jin to Wei Zhongxian are all promoting the cause of distilled spirits, of course, it is all gossip, in the orthodox propaganda, distilled spirits are naturally the traditional wisdom of our working people.

Of course, in the Song Dynasty, distilled liquor occasionally appeared in the name of burning spring and steamed liquor, and in the early Ming Dynasty, there was also a saying of French liquor and fire wine, but compared with ordinary liquor with a low degree, the cost of distilled liquor was too high, and it was almost not suitable for large-scale brewing and drinking.

It really began to increase the number of distilled liquors, but after the Republic of China, the traditional rice wine in the north gradually died out, and after the arrival of New China, distilled liquor can be regarded as completely replacing the original ordinary liquor.

One thing we can know is that the three bowls that Wu Song said back then are not enough, and he is talking about ordinary rice wine, and it is difficult for the degree to exceed 20 degrees and 30 degrees.

Looking at the dishes on the table, they were all thoughtful, and even the presentation was very beautiful, Li Xiangqian said: "If you want to talk about enjoyment, it has to be Jiangnan, how can northerners have time to ponder the taste of this West Lake vinegar fish?" ”

Lin Zhiji said: "They are all big businessmen, who have celebrity chefs at home, supply countless ingredients every day, specialize in research, and use up countless chickens, ducks and fish every day, just to let them enjoy the delicious food." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "I heard that the big businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are also hollowing out their minds in order to eat, but Brother Lin is very good here. ”

In fact, this kind of food culture has long been distributed, and all kinds of cuisines in the south are very fine, and the Northeast cuisine with a large amount of heavy oil and the Shandong cuisine based on frying are like this.

Lin Zhiji said: "In fact, there are some merchants who offer it, but their identities naturally dare not come to disturb the adults. ”

"I should thank them a lot, oh, but even if we meet, I'll have to leave in a few days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything after dinner."

Li Xiangqian knows that every word and deed of himself and others will be carefully considered, even if a sentence is unintentional, but there are also people who deliberately put aside the context and deliberately take it out of context with your words.

That's why you should be cautious when you speak.

However, those bigwigs in later generations, there are quite a few who like to auction the opportunity to have dinner with themselves, and Buffett is naturally the most profitable, saying that it was donated to his foundation, but the foundation, who doesn't know that it is a tax avoidant?

Of course, don't feel that those people are at a loss, whether it is their own compulsion, or the business that they have taken the opportunity to find a way to get, there is a Chinese stock speculator, after having dinner with Warren Buffett, the stocks he promoted soared instantly.

Li Xiangqian felt from Lin Zhiji that those businessmen's fears and thoughts about themselves were all money.

At this time, the waterway of the Yangtze River has not yet been dredged on a large scale, at least the hard bone of the Three Gorges is not something that hundreds of people can operate, and it is not so simple for several major tributaries to be repaired to future generations.

However, the rest of the distribution centers can still think about it, at least in this time and space, Shanghai silver will no longer be occupied by a bunch of old Ningbo watches, just like the Tianjin Wei in later generations was occupied by a group of Anhui old watches.

In Li Xiangqian's view, any hometown association organization can be called a reactionary behavior that hinders the development of productive forces, and compared to any brotherhood and society, it is a hundred times more reactionary, and the alumni association at least needs people with the same IQ to mix together to make a circle of friends.

Of course, I soon talked about Lin Zhiji, his term of office has passed halfway, and he should complete this county order in two years, as a Putian person, Lin Zhiji is not very smooth in Jiangyin, at least the local words are not clear, and it is normal to be secretly boycotted.

However, this person is quite calm, and his job is not bad, in fact, according to Li Xiangqian's understanding, there are really some similarities between the county officials and the imperial court.

The Son of Heaven sits in the Jinluan Palace, the county lord sits in the lobby, the six-room officials are like the six departments of the imperial court, the third-class officials are like the guards and sergeants, and the county master book and other Zuo Er are like the princess!

How does the emperor govern the country on his own? Use the cabinet and the father-in-law, and the county chief of staff is the cabinet of the county, and the county chief is the county celebrant and supervisor!

This is also the power of the great unified centralized dynasty, the template of the imperial court has been applied to the most basic yamen, and even to the new China of later generations, the so-called class, but also the squad leader, deputy squad leader, each member, what study committee, sports committee is the minister of each department, and the group leader is the parent official in various places.

In other words, children who are accustomed to this system will rebuild their society in this organizational mode once they encounter a nuclear disaster...... Well, of course, it seems that it will not be easy to survive a nuclear disaster with human capabilities.

The problem here is that all of a sudden, it is difficult for him to be promoted.

The reason is very simple, since the fall of the imperial capital, Nanjing's six departments naturally trembled, here was originally to accompany the capital, there is a set of combat effectiveness although insufficient, but at least a systematic team, although not to do much, but the struggle for power and profit is perfect, naturally stretched out their hands.

Regarding the division of power between the six ministries in the north and south, the six ministries in Nanjing were originally a place for officials who had lost power to retire, and the officials in Jiangnan who could manage them were basically minor officials who were not well known.

Now it's changed suddenly, but there has also been a big mess, many of the dicks of the Qingshui Yamen in the past are also full of hope to go out of Nanjing and dominate the country, oh no, it's to govern the whole country.

This kind of chaos gave the Manchu army that invaded the south an opportunity in later generations, and before the order of its own tax payment was straightened out, you began to stretch out your hand in an ugly way.

"This is your own business, I am waiting in the north, and I also have my own business."

This kind of thing is all a black cauldron, which is an inevitable occurrence of my lack of emergency plan.

In later generations, whether it is the East or the West, any country has an extremely rigorous and effective inheritance sequence for the disintegration of the power and leadership of the leaders under a nuclear war, ensuring that even if a large number of people die, there will be no internal turmoil, let alone disputes between them.

This is a sign of the maturity of the political system, and it doesn't matter who is high or low.

In the war, the generation of military ranks is this, you think about it, the battlefield is full of artillery fire, gunpowder smoke, can't see clearly, can't hear clearly, the only way to receive information is very rare, at this time, a group of stragglers get together, do you have to spend time, when you will enlist in the army, when you have a few merits, now you should listen to me.

Maybe after the quarrel, the enemy will also fight.

Military ranks, or this sequence, are signs of maturity.

And Nanming lacks this system, and it is too normal for problems to arise during the run-in period.

The distribution of power is like this, you pay meritorious, loyalty, life, get rewarded, form positive feedback, everyone according to this rule, for the "community", the company, the big guy to serve, but also enjoy the supply of others, this model, often the community society will also develop benignly.

But not everyone has this kind of public heart, and there are always people who start to play this game badly.

In the same year, classmates' associations, and fellow villagers' associations, these organizations with bad rules will exclude dissidents, making it difficult for honest people to do things inch, and they will be in calution, endlessly.

To make a simple analogy, it is normal for the emperor to play with women, and there are more princes, which is better than the thing of an emperor without a son, as long as the women who play are not ministers, it is much better than this.

As a result, the reward received by the father and brother of the favored concubine, this kind of input and output is basically higher than that of an honest fool, a typical example is Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei.

Recently, the cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty basically likes to promote fellow villagers, which is understandable, but no matter what rotten fellow is promoted, it will break the rules.

A county official has to manage the land, household registration, tribute, forced labor, post transmission, inspection, house, school, armor protection, disaster relief, worship to the gods, customs, lawsuits, arrests, warehouses, transportation, salt law, close the market, urging requisition, dissolution, science field, rituals, horse administration, river work, construction, and have to be optimistic that the officials below do not suck the blood of the people to the point of rebellion, and at the same time, the bosses above will occasionally issue orders off the line, not to mention, if there are so many retired officials in the county, they must be served carefully, and their families must be pleased in every possible way.

Jiangyin, a county town near the river and trade, is okay, the most miserable county official in the world, is none other than the imperial capital of Wanping Daxing County, that can be called more officials than dogs, it is really a jinshi to shake, and the second painful thing is the county order of the provincial capital, how many mothers-in-law are staring at the head?

The Nanjing officials who have been suppressed for too long, not only the six departments, but also the officials and treasury officials below have also mentioned their spirits, and they will not analyze the huge problem of how long the red flag can be fought, they only know that the hard days of the past should be over, and they should make a profit.

Lin Xianling was very distressed, but he didn't dare to complain to an "enemy" like Li Xiangqian, and just kept talking about all kinds of interesting things prepared in advance.

Li Xiangqian also took the opportunity to instill in him some of the things that happened in the imperial capital, for a local ruler, the number of affairs to be managed has actually increased, but the actual work can be pushed to others, he only needs to choose what to use, and when making many decisions, choose yes or no.

For all kinds of scientific and technological and economic decisions, there is no need to know all aspects, naturally there are professionals to give real judgments, he only needs to read a very simple report.

Again, in this day and age, a county official can't find enough people to trust.

Maybe some appointed Xiu will go to work as staff members, but this kind of highly specialized work requires training around the clock, and in the end, such a high investment requires extremely high returns, otherwise who will do it with you.

So the wool came out of the sheep, and the money was still collected from the people's fat and ointment.

This cycle is a negative feedback loop from the start.
